One of the most satisfying things I've seen so far in our work in Los Higos is a few boys taking what they've learned gardening with us and applying it at home. In the photo above, Jessie, is sitting in a little garden that he and his friend, Emilio (a.k.a. Arjenis) planted to cilantro. It's planted on land owned by Emilio's parents. The boys themselves tilled the area, built the fence, and collected as much goat manure as they could to fertilize the soil. The cilantro has sprouted, but it's hard to see in the photo.
